Irena Srbinovska plans to reunite with Bachelor co-stars after falling out with Bella Varelis

She found love with Locky Gilbert on last year’s season of The Bachelor.

And on Wednesday, Irena Srbinovska revealed her plans to reunite with her co-stars while travelling around Australia.

‘Going through the crazy ride of the Bachelor, you build such amazing friendships with each other,’ the nurse, 31, said in a Q&A session on Instagram.

‘I have spoken to most of the girls since the show has finished,’ she added.

‘I’ve caught up with a few and plan on seeing a bunch of them on our travels around Aus.’

While Irena built friendships with several contestants on the show, her fall out with Bella Varelis in The Bachelor mansion made headlines.

The fall out between Irena and Bella happened at the first cocktail party after they returned to the mansion following three months in lockdown.

Audiences saw Bella turn on Irena who branded her a ‘manipulative little b***h’ and claim that she was exaggerating her relationship with Locky.

Bella later explained on the Shameless podcast that the showdown with Irena happened after she’d confronted her about things fellow contestants Izzy Sharman-Firth and Steph Harper had supposedly heard her saying.

‘She was denying them. Steph and Izzy actually heard her denying and came and sat down, and they were like, “Hang on a second! Let’s just rehash because now you’re going to make Bella question our integrity.”‘

Bella went on to say that she felt her ‘smoke bubbling’ at the time, and when Irena asked if their friendship was over, she said yes and stormed off – which ended up being featured in the final edit with little context.

‘Even in the moment, I was like, “F**k, I shouldn’t have done that!”‘ Bella reflected.

Irena also made a subtle dig at Bella and fellow co-star Bec Cvilikas last year, after they received a blue verified tick on Instagram.

‘I’m not about being an influencer, just about being real,’ she said pointedly.
